Chapter 53: There is no stool in the carpenter's house
The brothers and sisters glanced at each other, and they all laughed...
"Tut~"
Zhang Xiuyuan was stunned twice, and quipped: "I didn't expect Jiuling and Yingying to have such feelings, senior brother has recruited both disciples and sons-in-law~"
"yes~"
Tong Yongzhou sighed faintly, and said sourly: "This bastard boy has only been under my door for a year, and he stole my girl's heart. ”
"Hahahaha~"
Zhang Xiuyuan stroked his palms and laughed, and said: "Although Jiuling and Yingying are young, they are talented and beautiful, and they are their own family members who know their roots, if they can come together in the future, it will not be a good thing." ”
"It's a good thing..."
Tong Yongzhou nodded, and said with emotion: "The documents to Beijing require family members to accompany me, and I also want to take this bastard boy with me, but he has a youthful heart and a detached personality, and the future of my trip is uncertain, so it is better to leave him in Gusu to polish and polish his temperament, in case something happens to me, he can also pass on this Tong family medical hall." ”
Zhang Xiuyuan also knew that his senior brother treated An Jiuling as his own child, and echoed: "It is not unreasonable for senior brother to be worried. ”
"He's too young after all..."
Tong Yongzhou sighed and explained: "I will go to Beijing in the near future and hand over this Tong family medical hall to him to take care of, but he is only fourteen years old, and I really can't rest assured that he will run this place alone." So I want to ask my junior brother to help take care of one or two in my spare time, I don't want to be rich or rich, as long as I can be safe. ”
"Senior brother, don't worry too much."
Zhang Xiuyuan smiled and said with relief: "Jiuling is your disciple and my nephew, and it is my duty to take care of the juniors." Besides, although Jiuling is young, he can be regarded as old and mature in this part of the world, and there should be no big problem. ”
Tong Yongzhou took a long sigh of relief when he heard this, and said with a smile: "With the words of junior brother, this trip is worry-free~"
"Hahahaha~"
The two brothers pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and the atmosphere was very good.
Tong Yongzhou, as a doctor, originally didn't drink, but he couldn't stand the worry-free future, and he was in a good mood, so he drank a few glasses;
And Zhang Xiuyuan didn't drink alcohol originally, but since the little turtle absorbed the red dust and smoke and watched those memory fragments that can be called human suffering, he gradually liked the feeling of being hearty and slightly drunk...
It was obviously a luncheon, but the two brothers who were about to separate had a little wine and chatted until the evening.
Zhang Xiuyuan thought that he had to find a craftsman to build a suitable scabbard by the way, so he didn't stay long, and after asking his senior brother where there were good craftsmen in the city, he resigned and looked for it.
On a small street in the middle of nowhere, I saw several blacksmith shops and carpenter shops in a row, and I knew that I had come to the right place...
The master of the blacksmith was making farm tools with a hammer shirtless, and when he saw a guest coming, he put down his hammer and put the red-hot wrought iron into the furnace.
Then he wiped the sweat on his face with the towel hanging around his neck, greeted him, and asked, "What does Dao Ye want to build?" ”
"Poor Dao wants to slap a scabbard..."
Zhang Xiuyuan pulled out the Dust Shadow Sword in his hand and asked, "But I wonder if the master blacksmith can make a suitable scabbard according to this sword?" ”
"What a sword!"
The blacksmith saw the sharp edge of the unsheathed Dust Shadow Sword, his eyes straightened, and he swallowed dryly.
As a blacksmith, he had also helped some rangers forge swords, so it was obvious at a glance that this sword was good, and it must be a sword with broken hair.
Like this kind of sword, it is a treasure that cannot be exchanged on the rivers and lakes, and it is also a masterpiece that every blacksmith dreams of...
He sighed and shook his head, and said with regret: "I also want to help Dao Ye make a suitable scabbard, but I am an iron striker here, and I can't do such delicate work as a scabbard." ”
"But you don't know where you can make a scabbard?"
"Master Dao, you have to find a carpenter to do it."
"Carpenter..."
Zhang Xiuyuan bowed slightly, and asked: "Poor Dao has just arrived, and I am not familiar with this place, can I bother the master to help recommend a master carpenter with fine workmanship?" ”
"The Taoist is polite."
The blacksmith wiped the sweat from his face, pointed to the outside and said with a smile: "There are several carpenter shops on this street that can make sword scabbards. ”
His voice paused, and after hesitation, he said: "Forgive me for talking too much, Dao Ye's sword is extremely sharp, it is a rare treasure, and ordinary scabbards are really not worthy of this sword." ”
"Oh?"
Zhang Xiuyuan seemed to understand what he meant when he heard this, and asked with a smile: "Then does the master know which carpenter on this street can create an 'extraordinary' scabbard?" ”
The blacksmith smiled and said, "At the end of this street, there is a carpenter shop without a sign, and there are several coffins in the shop, which is very recognizable. ”
He said as if he had thought of something, and said: "Although the old Li Tou is a little lazy, the fee is expensive, and the wine is good, but the craftsmanship is really not to say, if the Taoist master can afford the price, you can go to him to have a look." ”
"Old Plum Head ......"
Zhang Xiuyuan nodded thoughtfully, and arched his hand: "Thank you master, I won't bother with the poor road." ”
"Dao Ye doesn't have to be polite..."
Zhang Xiuyuan got out of the blacksmith shop and went to the end of the street.
As a craftsman, he is not only lazy, but also greedy for money and wine, but he can be recognized by other craftsmen on the street, which is enough to prove that his craftsmanship is exquisite...
The Dust Shadow Sword deserves a good scabbard!
At the end of the street, he also saw a carpenter shop with no sign and a few coffins in the shop, mainly because the door of the carpenter shop was in tatters, and it was indeed easy to identify...
Perhaps because of the lack of care in the carpenter's shop, he had just stepped through the door and smelled a slight musty smell.
Seeing that there was no one in the carpenter's shop, he frowned slightly and called, "Is anyone in the shop?" ”
“……”
"Is Master Li in the shop?"
"Ahem......"
It wasn't until he called a second call that a few coughs came from a coffin in the middle of the bunk, followed by a withered hand at the mouth of the coffin.
Zhang Xiuyuan's heart jumped when he saw this, and he thought it was an old ghost, but just as he wanted to draw his sword, he saw a sloppy old man sitting up from the coffin, rubbing his eyes sleepily, and he didn't seem to be awake yet.
"In the ......"
Lao Li Tou saw a Taoist in the shop, his eyes seemed to be a little surprised, he straightened up and yawned and crawled out of the coffin.
"I just fell asleep in the coffin, and I didn't listen."
He shook the wine gourd on his waist casually, and muttered when he saw that he was not drunk, so he asked lazily: "What is the Taoist chief doing here?" ”
“……”
When Zhang Xiuyuan saw this old Li Tou, he understood more clearly and intuitively what the blacksmith master meant by 'lazy'.
"But Master Li in person?"
"You're disturbing my sleep just to ask about this?"
Lao Li looked around blankly, and grinned: "If there is no one else surnamed Li in this shop, it should be me." ”
"Poor Dao wants to slap a scabbard..."
Zhang Xiuyuan arched his hand and smiled: "I heard from the neighbors that Master Li's craftsmanship is superb, and no one can match it on this street, so I took the liberty to visit and asked Master Li to build a suitable scabbard." ”
"Huh~ business, I said it earlier..."
When Lao Li Tou heard that it was business coming to the door, his dizzy old eyes lit up a little, and he immediately changed his face and smiled: "What about the sword?" I'll measure it first. You can just sit down..."
"Sit?"
Zhang Xiuyuan looked at the layout in the carpenter shop blankly, and didn't seem to find a place to sit...
"Oh, yes..."
Lao Li patted his head, as if he had thought of something, and said with a little embarrassment: "Usually I don't have any guests here, so I don't play the bench, you just find a coffin and sit for a while." ”
